Heard this on the radio last night and instantly I was 16 years old and parked at the Dairy Bar drinking a coke and checking out the other cars lined up full of friends. Remember those days? Before seat belt laws when you would have as many people in one car as you could possible fit in?

That was what Friday and Saturday nights were all about back then. Riding around checking out who was riding around with who - pretending to be "not interested" but all of the time hoping to get noticed. As hard as it was to be a teen back then it really was the very best of times in a lot of ways.

To all of you cruising up and down old 66 - I loved you all and still do -
